Scott, General Manager Entered in the Post Office at Memphis, Tenn. as second-class mail under the Act of Congress, March 1, 1870 RAYMOND F. TISBY Managing Editor MRS. ROSA BROWN Public Relations and Advertising ALYSON E. WISE Circulation Promotion SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.25 (In Advance) The MEMPHIS WORLD is an independent newspaper — non-sectarian and non-partisan, printing news unbiasedly and supporting those things it believes to be of interest to its readers and opposing those thing against the interest of its readers. Economy, Big Budgets And High Taxes Everyone should know that the American government is the paramount corporation of the world. Its extensive, exhoustive inquires, international in scope and its judicial as social applications would involve huge expenditures, as well as the enlistment of the best and most competent in administration. Naturally, there are those who knew another era of "swaddliling clothes" who would marvel at the talk about trillions like one would speak of thousands in another era, in that, the old flesh pots of economy would still be the envy of public gaze in Those, who, like Lot's wife, would look back. In such a huge outlay of responsibility and agencies inquiring into and administering every form of social, industrial and educational ventures, naturally there would be the average percentage of waste, overlapping, extravagance in operations, political favormongering and the normal expectancy of boon doggling. The powerful defense mechanism, involving from bureaus of research to big steamships and planes, in the existence of a government like ours, would involve another vast departure from the old flesh pots, known of other days of Coolidge economy and Hoover thrift. All this is said to lead up to the staggering peace-lime budget the President has recently, designed, and is causing opposition from the President's oldest brother on down to the filling-station operator who puts his take in one till and the state and govrnment take in another. High taxes is a direct descendant from these factors enumerated above. It is the taxpayer who toots the bill. Alter all the government is not a profit earning corporation. Bishop Candler used to say the government is a pauper itself and has nothing to give save what you have already given it. Waste overlapping, obvious duplicity and boondoggling, seldom remain an outsider where big spending finding and industrial expansion ore involved. In a recent release of comment by various dealers whose businesses live front producers whose cotton acreage furnisher the cotton fibers for textile industries; cotton seed for oil odd hull alarming situation of labor foldup in the textile fields, closing down of cat ton oil and hull interests, the curtail of the sale of form implement utilities, from garden hose to tractors and ditching bulldozers, tire interest and other by products, tangent to the producing, harvesting and processing of that derive from our native industries, oil would add up to an unprecedented situation of unemployment. Apparently, there should be a general overhaul, if you ask us; beginning with the leak-cracks in the soil bank and the flapping belt generating power to the Department of Agriculture. So, the lowering of taxes and economy in government could never be dreamed where the soil bank is depleting our places of employment, dispossessing the tenant farmer and culling the manufacture and sole of farm implement's from garden hose to tractors and bulldozers. There is no question of the fact that government has become big business and the Congress and the President and his various administrative deportments must keep a constant watch to combat waste and inefficiency wherever and whenever either occurs.

LIEUTENANT Schwabacker saw that Jocelyn's fare was pale and wan against the white pillowcase. Jocelyn dredged his strength and found a small smile. "Congratulations . . . Mr. Schwabacker. It's your. . . troop." The young lieutenant shook his head slowly. "It'll never be my troop sir, Every order. I'll ever give, they'll question and wonder it that's the way you'd give it." "You're a . . . fool." Jocelyn said with surprising bitterness "Get out. You're not . . . the man I thought you were." Schwabacker colored deeply then whirled and hurried across the pride to his own quarters his cheeks still burning. He could have taken Jocelyn's remark had not it been based upon a lifetime of remarks just like it. His quarters were cold and damp and he spent fifteen minutes stoking up the fire to heat water for his bath and shave Afterward he changed into clean, dry clothes. Rain made sad, sagging patterns on the windows as the daylight faded. He sat at his desk and, taking Henriett's letter from his pocket, read it again before attempting to answer it For nearly an hour his pen scratched monotonously in the silence. To read his letter ever he had to light the lamp. An hour later the rain stopped. He opened the door and stood there while he scanned the dark parade ground. His idleness induced him to take up hat and cape. He crossed the muddy parade to the hospital and scraped his boots before entering Cove Butter's office. Butter was brewing a pot of coffee in a glass beaker. He turned his head quickly, then said, " You can stand some, can't you?" "Thanks, yes," Schwabacker said and toed a chair around. Butler poured into glass measuring cups and they drank the coffee without sugar or cream. "You've got a fine pair of hands there," Butler said dryly, "Take care of them better yet, give up the army and finish your medical studies." "I like the army," Schwabacker said. "Sure, sure," Butler said. "Email, look at me. Do you think I'm here because I want to be? Man, you've got the touch, the magic I'll never have. I examined Kincald thoroughly. You did work with kitchen tools I couldn't duplicate here on the operating table. Are you going to throw that away?" "Is this going to be a lecture. Cove?" Butler finished his coffee. "Forget it. I'm a nosy man who doesn't know when to let up." Knuckles gently rattled Butler's and he opened it. An orderly stepped in, saw Schwa backer and said, "The colonel's compliments, sir. He'd like to see you right away." "Very well." He answered the trooper's salute, said his good night to Butler and went out. Colonel Nelson Ashford fanned a pall of cigar smoke away from his face and said, "Sit down, Mr. Schwabacker. How's the arm?" "Fine, sir," Schwabacker looked at the other officer, who was seated on Ashford's right. Major D'Arcy Davis was the regimental adjutant and acted like one, very prim, very definite, and occasionally very hard to get along with. "Mr. Davis and I have been combining reports," Ashford said, "and our conclusions are indeed dismal First, I'd like an opinion, Mr. Schwabacker. Do you believe we've seen the last of Spotted Tail's Cheyennes?" "No, sir. He took a licking, but I doubt he'll be inclined to forget it." "Ah," Ashford said, as though immensely pleased. "How do you feel about being live bait, Mr. Schwabacker?" "Do you want me to engage him again, sir?" "Well, you had such smashing success," Ashford said, "I was wondering if you could do it again. Mr. Schwabacker, my command is mainly one of supply. That and keeping the Bozeman Road open to Wessels and his fight at Kearny and Fort C. F. Smith. Quite obviously the hostiles mean to close thin line by force." He paused to shroud his face in cigar smoke again. ""Mr. Schwabacker, I have an opening for an able first lieutenant of cavalry. To confirm this promotion only requires ray signature. It's in my mind to recommend you for this rank. However, it will necessitate a change in assignment for you. If Spotted Tail is bothering the movement of reinforcements and that's obviously it, for he never molests a dispatch rider—then I want you to take command of E Troop and march to Fort Kearny. Wessels needs that troop desperately, but more specifically, I need someone to give Spotted Tail another licking." "I don't know what to say, sir," Schwabacker said. "My seniority, sir; I haven't any!" "But you have originality," Ashford said. "You've, proved that." "This is quite sudden, sir. Jocelyn ..." "Jocelyn's in the infirmary," Ashford snapped. "All right, Lieutenant, he took the news a bit ungracefully, but Jocelyn is not in command. I am." He got up from his desk and unrolled a large wail map. "At eight o' clock's tomorrow morning you will pass through the palisade gates with most expedient rate to Wessels command. The quartermaster is now readying a civilian wagon train. Thirty wagons Lieutenant and I want them to get there" "Yes, sir." Ashford offered his bnt "Carry on, then And remember I want Spotted Tail engaged and drubbed good."

MAY FOODS LISTED HERE Memphis and Mid-South homemakers will find May a good month for featuring beef, turkey, end eggs in family menus, says Leo W. Smith of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Food Distribution Division. These three foods head USDA's May list of plentiful foods for the Southeast Supplies of U. S. Choice grade beef will continue to be plentiful during the month since the marketing of grain-fed-cattle is seasonally heavy - from April through June, Smith, says. Many food stores will also feature turkey at attractive prices. Generous supplies are assumed because at the large cold storage holdings from last, year's record, trukey crop. In addition, producer marketing during May are expected to be a third to a half larger than those a year ago. Eggs continue to be one of the best food buys, with farm output continuing at high level and producer prices lower than a year earlier, Egg production in May is expected to top that of the same monthly a year ago.
